Tim Sylvia feels he “ruined” Andrei Arlovski

“I would imagine Strikeforce would be better for me because they would be a little more lenient with me instead of locking me down, there is a lot of things you can’t do when you fight for the UFC. With Strikeforce I could probably fight more often, the UFC has so many top guys now that they are only fighting twice a year and I don’t want to do that. I want to fight Overeem, Fedor again, Werdum is a good fight and me and Rogers would be a good fight. Arlovski I think would be [like our fight] number three again, me knocking him out. I think I ruined the poor guy, since I knocked him out he hasn’t been the same.”

UFC former heavyweight champs Tim Slyvia decides to take credit for Andrei Arlovski’s losing streak that started in early 2008. Sylvia won over Arlovski in July of 2006 at UFC 61 via unanimous decision. But could that one fight ruined “The Pitbull”?
